Axolotls are the native of the fresh waters of Lake Xochimilco and Lake Chalco  in Mexico. The fact which differs Axolotls from salamanders is that they don’t develop up through metamorphosis. Though in larval form they do have the external gills and a caudal fin. They are usually observed with a physique length among 15-45 cm. Axolotls grow to be sexually mature at the age of 20-24 months. Axolotls also possess impressive capability of regeneration. In case of a physique reduce they can heal up their wound amazingly. If their living situations are acceptable then Axolotls may survive for ten-15 years.

Axolotl, the small dragon is so fascinating and this specie has gone by means of several laboratory researches on account of its astonishing attributes. They are also kept as pets generally in 10-15 gallon filtered aquariums. The pH of the water of the aquarium should be six.5-7.five. The Axolotls are presently endangered specially due to the improper draining of their habitat lakes. Their population is beneath great threat simply because of the pollution in water where they reside. In their natural habitat the introduction of nonnative fish like African Tilapia has also created the lives of Axolotls in danger as they eat their eggs as meals.
